	RailBAM® acoustic monitoring system detects, identifies, reports bearing faults Derailment of trains caused by wheel bearing faults is a significant issue in the rail transport industry. A considerable number of derailments and train stoppages annually around the world are due to actual and potential overheated bearings. Trains often consist of up to 320 wagons containing 2500+ bearings. The failure of just one bearing poses a significant safety risk.  more... Wayside Monitoring System (WMS) The Wayside Monitoring System integrates specialized monitoring equipment into a single database. This provides a means to correlate individual measurements and quantify interaction and relationships between such things as wheel impacts, bogie tracking geometry and wheel wear. The WMS® makes information available to the customers existing IT infrastructure. This decreases commissioning costs and shortens the time to deliver data for engineering and operational departments.   Wheel Condition Monitor (WCM) The Wheel Condition Monitor system is a high level integrated wayside inspection station that identifies wheel defects associated with high wheel impact forces and developing spalls, as well as wheel weights. All installation mounts are clamp on - minimizing traffic interruption during installation and reducing maintenance times and providing significantly lower whole of life cost.  more... RailSQAD® acoustic system monitors and reports excessive environmental noise Trains travelling on tracks with tight curves and steep grades can produce extremely loud wheel squeal and flanging noise. When travelling through densely populated suburban locations, the need to monitor environmental noise is essential. The RailSQAD® system identifies problematic wheelset, and enables the operator to implement targeted maintenance regimes.  more... Supersites a comprehensive multi-sensor monitoring system comprising the RailBAM® Bearing Acoustic Monitor, Wheel Condition Monitor, Vehicle / Bogie Geometry and Tracking, and Wheel Profile, with data integrated via WMS® software to provide a total trackside intelligence system.
